Chapter 977: House thieves are hard to prevent
Chapter 977
It's not just talking......
With the appearance of the fallen messenger Merris, and with the triumphant confession of the cardinals who boasted of victory, a tragic picture scroll with conspiracy and betrayal as the silk with the content of the struggle for imperial power, cannibalism between father and son, brother killing, etc., was slowly unfolded.
It's a big picture, and it's a game within a game!
The temple plays the main role of the leading planner and matchmaker, first transferring the elite mage group of the temple from thousands of miles away, and then taking great pains to temporarily set up a small teleportation array, and then taking out the ancient magic circle without hesitation, the plan is to sacrifice a big move to completely kill the high-level of the gray-clothed army and the second prince's Royal Highness.
Bombarding and killing the top level of the Gray Cloth Army has achieved a similar effect to the negotiation - under the leaderless group of dragons, the emerging force of the Gray Clothes Army will naturally not be able to mix, and the next full-scale war between the Bran Empire and the Northern Wilderness tribes will be.
Killing His Royal Highness the Second Prince and his entourage, blaming the Gray-clothed Army is just a small road, the main purpose is to pave the way for what is happening in the royal castle. The truth is just like what the eldest prince said, the old king is dead, and the second prince is also dead, so it is self-evident who will take the throne of the empire.
And then again, if the temple side hadn't secretly reached an agreement with the eldest prince and made enough benefits, of course, it would not have been possible to jump up and down at the expense of his old capital......
Undoubtedly, in the end, the biggest winner of this layout is naturally the temple.
Such a deliberate plan can be described as exhaustive. However, the so-called truth that people are not as good as heaven is here, and the royal castle is doing it with great fanfare. Almost all the pre-steps are done in one step. It's all done. Unexpectedly, this plan went awry from the beginning. The killing move that served as a good start, the heavy sword in the hand of the fallen messenger Merris, was stunned and couldn't fall for a long time.
This is a ......
As the saying goes, a good start is half the battle. Now that there is a mistake at the beginning, even if the ending is successful, it will be full of drawbacks. This is similar to the principle of building a tall building, if the foundation is not laid, then the building on it is beautiful. It is also difficult to hide the hidden crisis.
And if you want to know the root cause of this flaw, it is simple, and it can be summarized in one sentence.
Day and night defense, it is difficult to prevent thieves!
......
To the southeast of Hongfeng Town, about 30 kilometers away, in the belly of an inconspicuous hilly cave.
"Block, block ......"
"Damn, don't let them get close to the circle......"
"You still dare to show up? You dare to take the initiative to come and trouble us--Xia Weian! You are looking for death-"
......
The current environment is indeed in the belly of the cave. The entire low hill should have been hollowed out for the most part, so that it could accommodate these dozens of hundreds of robed magicians and nearly a hundred knights of light wearing standard armor. Oh, and beyond that. There are also two mysterious magic circles that cover an area of one large and one small. The smaller ones appear to be more massive, similar to the teleportation arrays found in the space towers of some major hub cities. The other big circle is a little weirder. There is a wisp of black air around it, which is obviously not like a good thing......
Well, let's not say what it is for now. Just by looking at the fact that there are so many magicians and knights gathered right now, and they choose to hide in the belly of this dark cave, you know that they obviously don't want to be disturbed. But unfortunately, just listening to the roars and roars at the moment, as well as the non-stop sword fighting, screaming and muffling and other lively movements, I knew that their hidden plan had failed.
In fact, it is exactly what it is.
In the slightly crowded cave, a group of uninvited guests, led by an unusually bloated woman, formed the most offensive arrow formation, and did not reply or scold each other, but just waved their spears and kept killing the two mysterious magic arrays in the depths of the cave.
The edge is pointed, for a time, the one who is invincible!
In fact, judging from the scene, there is a clear gap between the two sides in terms of number and strength.
As the owner of the cave here, the long-range mage, the melee light knight, and even the healing priest with a small periphery can be described as excellent and complete. But it should be because she was caught off guard, and because the woman who made the single-arrow charge was so fierce, shooting like a dragon, sweeping and smashing, vertical and horizontal, and the strength of the scene was completely reversed. The raiders, who were not dominant in any way, actually carried several times the enemy, unabated momentum, and gained the upper hand!
This scene undoubtedly made the owner of this place shocked and angry, because it was a thin old man standing next to the Xuanao magic circle, a red old face with anger, it seemed that the color seemed to be more vivid than the big red robe, extremely exciting.
Not only did the sudden appearance of the angry other party interrupt the critical moment at the moment. also because of the identity of the other party...... The red-robed old man almost didn't have to think about it, he could be sure that the reason why the other party appeared here must have been informed by the people inside the temple, isn't this just that the family thief is difficult to prevent?
Just as he was angry, the mysterious magic circle surrounded by dozens of great magicians behind him suddenly burst into pitch black light, the six-pointed star array flickered, and the pressure expanded and contracted like a tide, constantly exuding a dangerous aura, which made people seem to have a sense of palpitation and fear.
But
Just when the Dao Dao pitch black brilliance, like thousands of streams returning to the sea, converged in the middle of the six-pointed star array, forming a dark pillar of black qi, and was about to rush to the sky, suddenly, the sound of shouting, a holy and domineering spear in the oblique ground, instantly passed through the chaotic battle situation in the field, heavy figures, and in the lost exclamation, roaring and roaring, accurately smashed the dark column,
Boom - the belly of the cave shook, the ground trembled, like a strong earthquake, and the inner wall of the cave was debris pouring down.
Holy spear, dark air column. One white and one black, even ordinary people can see that these are two extremes, and now they are entangled together, since water and fire are incompatible, and they collide violently, driving bursts of uproar, like a strong wind passing through the heads of everyone in the field.
After all, the dark qi pillar was formed by the joint efforts of dozens of great magicians, and its power was really amazing, just a simple contact, that is, it ruthlessly crushed the incoming domineering spear.
However, the emaciated old man in the big red robe was furious again when he saw this, and shouted angrily: "Good, good, good! Xia Weian, since you are sincere in looking for death, then don't blame me for not remembering the old friendship!"
No wonder this red-robed old man was so angry, it turned out that after smashing the domineering spear, the dark qi pillar seemed to have been affected, and once again dispersed into a Dao pitch black brilliance, and retracted into the Xuanarc Array. Obviously, the brewing just now was an empty bamboo basket. And looking at this situation, it is obvious that this is not the first time that this domineering gun has done this, so how can it not make this red-robed old man irritable?
Waving his hand fiercely, "Except for the operation of the Ancient Teleportation Circle, the rest of the people will give me all my strength to kill this crazy woman first!"
As soon as the roar fell, the scene suddenly reversed. After all, there is a huge disparity between strength and weakness, and these knights and magicians are obviously not ordinary characters, they should have taken care of the magic circle before, and they were dedicated to two purposes, and the result was inevitably timid. Now obeying the order to gather fire and attack with all their might, the raiders are outnumbered, and naturally they will no longer be able to take advantage of the slightest.
Even the mad woman who rushed forward steadily, En, that is, Xia Wei'an, had to purse the corners of her mouth in the face of all kinds of magic rushing from the sky above her head, and turned from attack to defense.
As she guarded, the dozens of people who came in with her in the rear naturally had to stop moving forward. In just a few breaths, under the various magical blows around him and the successive battles of the Templar Knights, the Blade Arrow formation was like a fire candle in the wind, crumbling to extinguish......
The principle of one blow, then decline, and exhaustion of three can be applied anywhere, especially in battle.
Xia Wei'an led a few dozen people, and his ability to carry several times the heavy pressure on his side, breaking through to the current record in the hinterland of the cave, is not a miracle. In addition to his own superior strength, the most important reason is that because of the previous raid methods, he unreasonably forced in, and completely disrupted the situation in the cave at the first time.
This is also the so-called one go, but now everyone in the temple came back to their senses under the command of the red-robed old man and began to fight back with all their might. The difference in strength between the two sides was thus exposed, and the impact momentum of Xia Wei'an's side inevitably declined.
So, it is predictable. If there are no surprises later, Xia Wei'an, the lone army that suddenly broke into the cave, is destined to be the end of the annihilation of the entire army - well, at least in the eyes of the old man in the red robe, this is right.
Therefore, after seeing that the situation in the field had calmed down slightly, the red-robed old man's expression was slightly relaxed, he snorted coldly, and turned his head to make a continuous gesture to the dozens of magicians surrounding the large Xuanao magic circle behind him, who bowed his head slightly, raised his staff again, and encouraged the magic power around his body to be instilled into the magic circle in front of him.
In the next moment, the pitch-black brilliance flashed again......
